HOMEMADE GREEK SEASONING RECIPE
When cooking quick and easy meals, one of the easiest ways to up the flavor without upping the effort is to use a flavorful seasoning blend.
Unfortunately, so many seasoning blends are not gluten-free.
When I realized gluten was hiding in my seasoning blends, I freaked.
But soon I realized I could make my own super easily with minimal effort.
And now I share with you my super-simple recipe for gluten-free homemade Greek seasoning!

So what’s the deal with spices and gluten?
While individual spices (you know, single spices like paprika or dried herbs like parsley) are naturally gluten-free, many become cross-contaminated with gluten during the manufacturing process.
This is due to processing on equipment shared with gluten-containing items. Honestly—we’ve had black pepper that states a “manufactured on equipment with wheat.” ugh.

In addition, seasoning blends often use gluten-containing ingredients (such as wheat flour) as a binder or a thickener in their blend.
What spices and seasonings are gluten-free?
Many companies have gluten-free claims on their ingredients and seasoning blends including, but not limited to:
- Badia Seasonings (individual spices & seasoning blends)—these are actually certified gluten-free, so there’s an extra level of safety & comfort here! They also are very cost-effective and can be purchased on Amazon or in your neighborhood grocery store.
–> Do you want to know more about what gluten-free certification means? Click here! - McCormick (individual spices, some seasoning blends marked ‘gluten-free’)—While McCormick’s individual spices are gluten-free, the majority of their seasoning mixes CONTAIN GLUTEN! Look for the packets labeled “gluten-free.”
- Penzeys Spices (individual spices & seasoning blends)—Penzy’s spices are high quality and they have so many creative and interesting spice blends. Penzy’s spices can be purchased on Amazon, at Penzy’s retail stores, and their website.
- Primal Palate (individual spices & seasoning blends)—these spices are great and their seasoning blends do not contain artificial fillers. These are available at Amazon and are also discounted on Thrive Market.
- Spiceology (seasoning blends)—Spiceology’s seasoning blends are flavor explosions! They are a bit difficult to find at brick and mortar stores, but are available at Amazon and some blends are discounted on Thrive Market.
Note: I love shopping online through Thrive Market! You can save a ton of money on specialty items. Learn more about why I love Thrive Market in this post and get a free trial + save up to $20 off your first purchase.
Back to the homemade Greek seasoning recipe!
To make this homemade Greek seasoning, all you need is a couple different basic spices—many of which you probably already have in your pantry! Just make sure the spices themselves are gluten-free.
I like to make it in bulk and store it in a spice jar (or mason jar if I really make a lot!) so I have it ready for super quick cooking!
This gluten-free Greek seasoning blend is so versatile. I use it to make salad dressing for easy Greek salad. I marinate chicken with it, drizzle it on roasted vegetables.
